The 90th Masters concluded Sunday at Augusta National with Rory McIlroy winning the tournament for the second consecutive year. After ending an 11-year major drought to complete a career Grand Slam last year, he has now won at Augusta for the second consecutive year.
At 12-under 276, McIlroy overcame that on Sunday as four different players held or shared the lead before winning by one over Scottie Scheffler.
Here are the 10 winners and losers of the 2026 Masters Tournament.
Winner: Rory McIlroy

With the win, McIlroy joined Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus as the only men to successfully defend the green jacket. McIlroy is the first back-to-back winner since Woods in 2001 and 2002. Despite making double bogeys on the par-4 fourth and par-3 sixth, McIlroy bounced back with birdies on seven and eight and two more birdies on 12 and 13. He reached 18th place with a lead of two shots. He earned major win No. 6, tying Faldo for most wins by a European.
Loser: Haotong Li

Haotong Li struggled on 12 and 13 as McIlroy holed out for birdie down the middle of Amen Corner. His final round was full of ups and downs with four birdies and four bogeys on the first nine. Then came Amen Corner; Lee made triple bogey on the par-3 12th and recorded a score of 10 on the par-5 13th. As a result, Lee dropped from a top-five finish to finish tied for 38th at 1-over.
Winner: Scotty Scheffler

The two-time Masters champion fell just short of winning his third green jacket in five years. Despite not winning, Scheffler did not record a single bogey over the final 36 holes, including a 4-under 68 in the final round. He became the first player in 84 years to record a bogey-free weekend at the Masters. World No. 1 Scheffler also shot 7-under 65 on the day to climb the leaderboard. His last bogey or worse hole came on the par-5 15th in the second round.
Winner: Tyrell Hatton

Tyrell Hatton recorded the best performance among LIV golfers in the field with a third-place finish. He finished tied with Russell Henley, Justin Rose and Cameron Young at 10-under 278. Hatton recorded his best Masters finish, shooting 6-under 66 on both Friday and Sunday. Hatton, who made his 10th start at Augusta National this week, tied Keegan Bradley and Gary Woodland for the best score during the final round.

Loser: Bryson DeChambeau

The biggest star to miss the cut was Bryson DeChambeau. The LIV star shot a 4-over 76 in the opening round, which included a triple bogey on the par-4 11th after needing three shots to get out of a greenside bunker. Then in the second round, DeChambeau shot 2-over 74 and missed the cut by two strokes, including another triple bogey on his final hole. The 32-year-old was one of the pre-tournament favorites but was unable to make the weekend.
Loser: Sergio Garcia

The Spaniard did not have the best moments to end his 27th Masters start. During the final round, Sergio Garcia's drive on hole No. 2 went into a bunker. As a result, Augusta National Golf Club played one of the toughest courses of the season, resulting in disappointment. Garcia angrily swung his driver, hitting the cooler next to the tee box and breaking his driver, which he was unable to use over the final 15 holes. Garcia received a code of conduct warning from the Masters Rules and Competition Committee.

Winner: Max Homa

For the third year in a row, Max Homa finished in the top 10 at the Masters with a T9. Homa shot 5-under 67 without any bogeys to earn a ticket to next year's Masters. Homa finished 4-under on his final six holes, sealed by an eagle on the par-5 13th. It is Homa's best start to the season after missing the last two cuts at the Valero Texas Open and the Valspar Championship. This is also Homa's best performance after T13 at the Cognizant Classic.
Winner: Shane Lowry

Although the Irishman did not win, he did something that no other player achieved this week. During the third round on Saturday, Shane Lowry birdied the par-3 16th, becoming the seventh man in Masters history to record a 1 on the scorecard for that hole. Lowry has a strong resume of aces with hole-in-ones at TPC Sawgrass and Pebble Beach. He hit his second ace at Augusta and his first ace at No. 16 since 2016.
Loser: Robert McIntyre

Robert McIntyre showed solid form entering his visit to Augusta National Golf Club with a runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open. He also finished fourth in the Players Championship. However, the lefty was unable to put it together this week. He blew the par-5 15th with several shots into the water for 9. McIntyre then opened his second round with a double bogey in the first round and missed the cut by three strokes.
Winner: Annual Traditions

Every year, the Masters is a "tradition unlike any other," as broadcaster Jim Nantz would say. One tradition in particular is how the tournament begins with honorary starters. Having the Masters Tournament with those wearing green jackets pays homage to the past. This year, the trio of Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player – who have a combined 11 green jackets – took the lead at the first hole.
